This game's been on my Wish List for as long as it's been on Steam, and that's likely to not have just been at the time of its full release... big mistake to have gone this long without playing it. But, then, I feel as though need to give myself some credit considering the effect of these last few years, n' sure I'm not the only one that can say that either.

Game Play. All three highlighted focuses, pottery, bartending, and impersonation, are relatively simple; though, there's definitely that learning period that's still fun to work through. Be very careful about skipping through help text on any of these three when you're making your first run, it can screw you over since you can't backtrack through it. With the game's directives, really consider what not following them will get you. Sometimes you won't want to listen to it in order to have anything going in your favor from that point forward. Cannot stress that enough, as certain past and pending decisions will force you to clear your save file and start from the beginning.But oh, Save Files! Wish they had made it so that you can force the game to save whenever you'd like. Obviously wouldn't happen now, given that the game's nearing its four year mark at the time of this review, but if you're reading this- it is something to bear in mind.

The story itself, while I can't speak much on it, wasn't one I had expected to affect me so deeply. I expected to get attached to a select few of the characters and wish to see them in a next game, but believe me when I say that they take it so much further than that for you.

Pretty sure this is a game that will stick with me.
